DESCRIPTION:
WESTLAKE, fcaled June IS,
1881, is coal black, 1917 hands high,
with perfect trottiug action, and while
he has had no track work, from his
disposition, gait and rare breeding,
confidently expect of prove this sea.
son that he possesses capacity for
speed unequalled by any horse in this
vicinity.
REMARKS:
An analysis of the above pedigree
shows that Westlake traces nineteen
times to Imported Messenger, through
his sire, an inbred Hambletonian.
John H. Wallace says of the breeding
of his sire: "He has no superior on
the American continent" The union
of these three great trotting families
Hambletoniar, Black Hawk or Mo-,
gan, and the Bashaw, rarely fail tc
produce high rate of speed. The
fastest time ever made to harness
2:oIA, was made by Westmont, by a
Hambletonian horse out of Morgan
mare. By the records the Black
Hawks stand third among the grea.
trotting families, being only surpassed
by Hambletonian and Mambrinc
Chief.
"For generations the blood of Black
Hawk has asserted itself in the Amer.
lean trotter. "-7u,f Field and Farm
ellis blood is asserting its power in
remote crosses, which is much to its
credit, and is conclusive evidence OF
his prepotency as trotting sire.''-
Gen. Wikkers.
"The Black Hawk Morgan strain
is becoming very fashionable, and
when backed by cross of Bashaw
blood the combination is certainly
ultra fashionable. "-DaOenbo,t Dem
carat.
General Withers, who placed a
grandson of Hills Black Hawk in
his stud, at Fairlawn, says: GA care
full and critical examination of the
records satisfied me that Hills Black
Hawk blood was the proper cross for
Hambletonian Mares" Green's Ba-
shaw, like Rysdyk's Hambletonian.
is too we'll known to need extended
notice, with more sons and daughters
who have trotted in 2:3o or better
than all others combined who ever
stood in Iowa, his best, with one ex-
ceptlon, being Fred Douglass, full
brother to Geo. Click, (No. a264,)
sire of Westlake's dam.
Only seventy mares in the world
ever produced as many as two a:3o
trotters, and one of these, Nancy Bell,
q Morgan mare, produced Fred
Douglass, 2:2O4 Tom Kirkwood,
2:29I, and Geo. Click, who died
when four years old without technic-
al record but who had repeatedly
shown his ability to trot in $3.50, all
sired by Green's Bashaw.
The above records show that
WESTLAKE is considered, by the
highest authority, one of the most
fashionably bred horses in Iowa, WIS
consin and Minnesota.
WESTLAKE will be cheerfully
shown at any time at the places indie
ated above, and VIM. LaBelle, his
trainer, will satisfy any person that he
has promise of great speed, and that
in form and style he does not belle
his rich breeding.
